Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life and you’ll cherish the memories of it forever. All the planning, scheduling, and list making has been completed in preparation for your “I Do’s”, but you might consider making one more list before the day arrives. Creating a shot list of poses and pictures for your photographer is a great way to ensure you get all the pictures you want, and it provides a checklist for the photographer so that they are able to go above and beyond to take the pictures you want and more. Plus, sitting down and thinking about what you’re looking for in pictures will help you and your photographer better capture your big day. We love to help our clients out, so here’s some great picture ideas that you can add to your shot list!

What a joy it was working with Ashley and Val to plan their May 2015 Wedding! They are beautiful people inside and out and you can see their love for each other in everything they say and do.

Here are a few of our favorite memories from their wedding day.

A very special thank you goes out to Annie Hall with Annie’s Culinary Creations for saving the day and making these amazingly beautiful and delicious cakes after Romano’s Bakery unexpectedly and suddenly went out of business. Ashley had just paid her final payment to Romano’s when we learned they closed their doors. Annie jumped in and made the Bride & Groom’s cake dreams a reality!

Having a videographer with a Drone was extra fun and it made for some incredible video. Take a look at Ashley & Val’s Video Trailer here:

We extend huge thank you’s to ALL of the amazingly talented vendors that made this day perfect for Val & Ashley and their families and friends!!!

Garlands are becoming a staple at weddings and other special events. The long strands really wow the guests with their high visual impact. They are also a great way to incorporate your colors and theme of the event. Garlands can be used in a variety of ways to spice up your decor and can be made out of fabric, flowers, or paper. Below are a few ways we like to implement them:

Ceremony:

Garlands can be added along structures such as fences, walls, or gates to soften the ceremony space. Putting garlands down the aisle is a great way to not only decorate the space, but they’re also a way to let guests know that the aisle is reserved for the wedding party or family.

Tables:

Get the most out of your floral by keeping it low and flowing. Add candles for height and this romantic look will be sure to get endless “oohs” and “awes.” Another thrifty and sparkly way to add color is to hang a paper or fabric garland to the front of the table. This helps add interest and texture to your decor.

Add swag to your chairs! This not only makes for beautiful pictures, but it also allows you to quickly identify your seats. Having a glamorous party or event? Add beads and faux pearls for a little extra sparkle to your chairs.

When it comes to garland, you can buy it, rent it, or make your own. There are plenty of choices to decide from! One thing is for sure though, garlands will definitely add that extra bit of pop to any wedding or event.

The cake. It’s a wedding day staple that comes in all shapes and sizes. Although the taste is incredibly important, the way the cake is decorated is equally, if not more important. Viewed as a wedding centerpiece, your wedding cake is a huge part of your day so we have some great ideas for a unique and fun cake topper!
